Confirmed: 12% of Americans are Certifiably Insane

What else can you conclude from this? The poll shows 12% of the public is so pathetically obsessed with race one can only figure they're the left, the hard left, the leftover left and the media. Surprisingly, however, a small sampling of supposed Republicans believe this nonsense. Must be those mushy-headed types like Kathleen Parker, David Frum and washed-up bloggers who are hearing voices in their heads.

Twelve percent (12%) of voters nationwide believe that most opponents of President Obama’s health care reform plan are racist. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 67% of voters disagree, and 21% are not sure.

In recent days, several Democrats have suggested that racism is a factor. The most prominent to make that accusation is former President Jimmy Carter.

Eighty-eight percent (88%) of Republicans reject the notion that most of the opponents are racist. So do 78% of voters not affiliated with either major party. However, just 39% of Democrats share that view. Twenty-two percent (22%) of those in the president’s party say that most of the opposition to his plan comes from racists, and another 39% are not sure.

As detestable as this latest meme from the left is I say keep it up. It will only help bury these morons and further send the antique media into the dustbin of history.

The great uniting racial healer in the White House could put an end to this today, but he clearly doesn't want to.

I wonder why?

Props to a liberal with sanity for telling it like it is.

As a liberal, I must ask: Why can't liberals who support Obama make an intelligent argument without accusing those who disagree with us of racism, and sideswiping other liberals who, like me, when I heard Obama's speech, reflexively agreed with Wilson's sentiment - to wit, "Mr. President, you lie!"

Michael Steele, meanwhile, smacks Jimmy Carter.

This is a pathetic distraction by Democrats to shift attention away from the president's wildly unpopular government-run health care plan that the American people simply oppose. Injecting race into the debate over critical issues facing American families doesn’t create jobs, reform our health care system or reduce the growing deficit. It only divides Americans rather than uniting us to find solutions to challenges facing our nation.

Characterizing Americans’ disapproval of President Obama’s policies as being based on race is an outrage and a troubling sign about the lengths Democrats will go to disparage all who disagree with them. Playing the race card shows that Democrats are willing to deal from the bottom of the deck. Our political system has no place for this type of rhetoric.

By the way, 55% now oppose ObamaCare. No wonder the left wants to distract by playing the race card.
